    Call them.

    Their customer service is exemplary. Or at least it has been in the recent past.

    802-846-1500

    FB got me the quickest response; they were super nice, and offered me a new pint. :)

    You guys must be eating really small portions of this stuff to have it fit in your calorie limit. I love premium ice cream but even a very small half cup serving has a lot of calories.

    Not true.

    Ben & Jerry's & Talenti have a higher calorie amount, but you can have a higher gram amount per serving than regular ice creams. With regular ice creams there's a smaller gram amount per serving but you can find some that have decent calories. It's not that hard to find some to fit into your diet calorie wise.

    Yep. It's not hard to fit stuff either. An extra 20 minute walk, or creating a calorie deficit over the week to give you enough to not give a diddly one day.

    There are two greek frozen yogurt flavors I love.. Blueberry Vanilla Graham, and Banana Peanut Butter.
    I love anything coffee flavored too, so of course I love the Dublin Mudslide, Coffee Heath Bar Crunch, and Coffee, Coffee, Buzz Buzz Buzz!
    The absolute best however, is a seasonal flavor of Pumpkin Cheesecake. It is amazing!

    What is this Pumpkin Cheesecake you speak of?!

    It's Ben & Jerry's? I have never seen such a thing but I am now super excited. I will be stalking my shelves come fall or ordering for delivery if need be.

    Yes!! Bizarrely, I saw it for the first time just a couple of weeks ago (seasonal pumpkin ice cream in June??). I bought 2 pints ;). I'm not a huge sweets person, though, so I can do the 1/2C serving no problemo, thankfully - I still have 1.5 pints left, which is good because I'm rationing it ;).

    Since they only made the BEST ICE CREAM EVER for one year (like 1999, R.I.P. Holy Cannoli), my next favorite choices are:

    *Chocolate Fudge Brownie
    *New York Super Fudge Chunk
    *any of the newer Core ones (Hazed & Confused, Salted Caramel being the best of those)

    Love that the Fudge Brownie comes in that teeny tiny serving size at my grocery store so I have built-in portion control :)

    Edited to add: Just realized you were asking for froyo recommendations...Oops! I don't eat that :(

    That's OK, Chocolate Fudge Brownie comes in fro--yo. And it's the only frozen yogurt that I think is good enough to eat. Nice and chocolately. Main difference from the regular ice cream is that it's not as creamy, unlike other chocolate fro-yos that sacrifice both satisfying chocolate flavor AND the nice creamy texture.

    Welp. Almost a week, and not a peep from Ben and Jerry's about following up on my ticket that I put in. They said they get a ton of mail in and they take a while, but I had feedback from Walmart about a billing issue in two seconds flat during Christmas, and that was a crazy time.
    I believe I have been forgotten. Even more disappointment.

    Boooooooooooooo.

    My fav is the Milk & Cookies flavor. I prefer a lighter ice cream though, so I blend it up with a bunch of ice, and then refreeze it. I hope B&J does right by you and sends you that coupon.
